Meet Sam, a charming little feline whose roar for grub has delighted millions on TikTok. This small white and orange cat has managed to capture the internet’s heart with his elongated meow. A short clip of Sam sauntering around the kitchen, letting out an impressively long yell, has racked up more than 35 million views.

Why the loud meow, you ask? Sam’s making his needs known, according to Teresa Keiger, editor of Cat Talk magazine. She points out that cats, initially quiet creatures, have learned to communicate with humans primarily through meowing. A vocal declaration like Sam’s might be indicating hunger, a desire for attention, or a playful mood.

Anita Kelsey, a U.K. feline behaviorist, affirmed this, suggesting that Sam’s long meow translates to a swift “hurry up, I’m hungry!” She notes that if a cat feels its needs aren’t being met promptly, the meow may “escalate,” as it seems to have done with our food-craving Sam.

Despite the loud protest, Kelsey reassures cat owners that such vocalizations are generally normal and not a sign of distress. As long as the meowing doesn’t become disruptive, it’s all just part of the cat-human dialogue. So, next time your feline friend calls out, remember that they’re just having a chat with you. Like Sam, they want to be heard.
